Too many business owners are fruitlessly searching for Internet Marketing's "Holy Grail". You need to get out there and "do" more than you need to learn another technique or strategy.
Don't get me wrong, there are amazing marketing techniques out there that you could be using. And there are a lot of products that teach you how to market better. Always, always continue to learn and grow. When you stop learning, you're sunk.
You might actually find that the top experts disagree with each other on what techniques to use. Stupid but, this is because there is only one true judge of marketing... testing!
Without testing, you'll never know which marketing techniques work for you.
Every successful Internet marketer will agree upon one thing, there is only one "secret" of Internet marketing.
If you don't take any action, you won't get any results!
Successful markers are always doing something. If you sit on the sidelines and read, learn and study without ever taking action, you'll never make any money.
Start doing something...even if it doesn't work!
Marketing online takes a lot of "practice".
If you want to write better ads, study copywriting, and then take action by testing what you've learned against your existing sales letters.
Something that almost no one ever seems to mention in regards to business is that some of the most successful companies expect that only one out of every seven products they create will be a success worth continuing.
Claude Hopkins, considered to be the forerunner of many of today's direct response strategies, recorded this in his book "Scientific Advertising":
"There are many surprises in advertising. A project you will laugh at may make a great success. A project you are sure of may fall down. All because tastes differ so. None of us know enough peoples desires to get an average viewpoint."
The first website you create might not be a success, or profitable. If you're smart, and stay in the game, in contact with the right people you will learn something from it. The next website venture may be the success that you've been hoping for.
The reason your current site isn't making any money, could be the wrong product or the wrong market. If you can't explain to me in one sentence who your target market is, then you're not ready for success.
Test some different products. Test some different advertising methods. Test some different ads. Only testing can tell you what will or will not work online or offline.
The key, is to keep your testing small, so doesn't break the bank. Test and add her to. Purchase a 10,000 impression banner campaign. Start an Adwords campaign.
Set aside a small budget of say $100-$500 every month just for testing.
Never spend any money on advertising where it will put you out of business. It should be as small and risk-free as possible at all times.
If you can't afford to spend any money on advertising, and start with free traffic techniques.
There's dozens of great free techniques that you can use. However, never spend more time on them than you can afford to lose.
Time is money and as you become more and more successful in this business, it is the time that you run out of first.
The secret to Internet marketing is to "take massive action".
Even if everything doesn't go to plan, adapt and try something else.
The second Internet marketing secret is much like the first one. It is "Don't give up!"
